NRAC Funding Parity, NHS Lothian

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Members' Business Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that NHS Lothian has had its busiest year on record for hospitals and community health centres; understands that the health board provided care and treatment to more patients in 2019 than ever before, with a total of 1,693,614 attendances, admissions and appointments throughout acute and community services, an increase of nearly 3% on the previous year, with general practices carrying out around 5 million urgent and routine appointments across Lothian; acknowledges the hard work of all staff in NHS Lothian, who it considers do an exceptional job in what can be very challenging circumstances; understands that Edinburgh and the Lothians have the fastest growing populations in Scotland, and acknowledges the view that NHS Lothian should receive funding parity with other health boards, so that it is in a position where it has the resources needed to take forward long-term sustainable improvements to services.
